erinja:No worries, lots of people have a "country of residence" that doesn't reflect their citizenship.

In the new lernu, we hope to incorporate an element that allows a distinction - an ability to indicate two countries, both where you live and where you come from originally.

'The new lernu' I am guessing is either a rebranding, or a redesigned website.... Is there a link that I may go to find more information about this?

Redesigned website. There's no particular link, but you'll find some threads on the topic in the forum subsection "Pri la paĝaro" / About the site.

Saluton Amikoj!
I've been learning Esperanto for a week now and so far, I am liking it. I spend an hour every night on lernu and an hour on youtube watching videos about Esperanto. I am so glad I knew about this wonderful language and amazing community. I've made a couple of friends online because of Esperanto and they are very helpful, kind and patient. I am 16 years old and I want to be able to speak in many languages. I already speak English, Tagalog (Filipino) and currently taking Spanish in school. Now, I'm learning Esperanto by my own and I'm excited every day to learn more about this amazing language. I first read about Esperanto on a blog of an Irish polyglot named Benny Lewis. He mentioned that if someone wants to be a polyglot like him and have no idea what language to start with, Esperanto is the answer. I also discovered that I like learning languages. I live in Canada and it is one of the most diverse countries. I hear different languages everyday. I am not really a very social person and I think that through learning a new language, I will be able to meet people and converse to them in their mother tongue. I want to be able to connect with them and learn more about their culture and life. Also, I believe that learning languages opens up more opportunities and experiences. How about you guys? How many languages do you speak? How long did it take you to be fluent in Esperanto? Why did you learn Esperanto? How long have you been speaking Esperanto and do you have some great experiences with it? I would greatly appreciate if you answer all my questions. hehehe I'm excited to hear your responses.
Dankon! Thank you! Salamat! Gracias!
